Chapter 197: Simple Folk Customs
The moon was on the branches, the night was getting darker, but the bar was getting more lively.
Aoki sat alone in the corner, thinking about the next plan while collecting information.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and took away the wine glass on his table.
Aoki turned his head to look.
This was a gray-haired old man with few wrinkles on his face. He wore glasses and had a vertical scar on his right eye. He wore worn brown trousers and a yellow shirt, and looked a little sloppy.
The old man drank the wine in the glass: "Hahaha, it's a waste not to drink such good wine."
Aoki's expression moved slightly, and he smiled: "Who said I don't drink?"
Although it was more than ten years earlier and he was not as old as in the future, he still recognized the old man at a glance.
The right hand of the Pirate King, Pluto, Silvers Rayleigh!
When he came to the Sabaody Archipelago, he planned to meet this legendary figure, but he didn't expect that Rayleigh would find him before he went to visit.
"Hahaha, is that so? I saw you haven't drunk it yet, so I thought you didn't like it. It seems I misunderstood."
Rayleigh laughed and was about to leave.
Aoki said: "That glass of wine just now was 50,000!"
He was not talking nonsense.
He ordered the best wine in this bar, which is worth 200,000.
The glass is full, and it can be poured into about four glasses.
Rayleigh stopped and said helplessly: "Little brother, do you think I look like someone who can take out 50,000? If you need coating, I can help."
"Coating is not necessary, you just need to answer me a question."
Aoki picked up the bottle: "And, the rest can also be given to you."
"Question?" Rayleigh looked at him, and his eyes changed slightly.
Aoki said: "Raftel, what is there?"
Rayleigh looked normal, and laughed: "If you want to know, why don't you go and see it yourself? Little brother is so powerful, maybe he is the next Pirate King."
Aoki said: "Do you think I look like the person Roger is waiting for?"
"Who knows?" Rayleigh said casually.
"Since you won't tell me, forget it. Just consider it as your debt."
Aoki threw the wine over and turned to leave.
It was obvious that he didn't have as much face as Luffy.
As for asking by force, forget it.
Rayleigh is only in his early sixties now, and his strength should still be at its peak.
Without opening the "ultimate form", he is definitely not Rayleigh's opponent.
Rayleigh took the wine, looked at Aoki's back as he left, and shook his head gently.
It was just a moment of greed, but he didn't expect to meet a troublesome person.
He opened the bottle cap, poured himself a full glass, took a sip, and showed an enjoyment on his face.
"It's really good wine!"
...
After leaving the bar, Aoki found a place where no one noticed and entered the different space directly.
One by one, the lights illuminated this empty world.
The central building was surrounded by "sundries" such as gold and gems.
He didn't need to sleep, so there was no need to go to the hotel. Besides, there were still important things waiting to be done.
Aoki's body swelled, his skin turned black, and his head became ferocious and majestic.
After all, this is what he really looks like.
If he eats a mythical beast devil fruit, I wonder what he will look like in the end.
Aoki took a stance and slowly practiced.
He had upgraded too quickly recently, and his strength had increased rapidly. He had to adapt to the surge in strength as soon as possible.
Fortunately, this was not difficult.
Now, his use of his body and his mastery of combat skills are no longer the same as before.
Moreover, compared with humans, Infinite Dragon Beast itself has a huge advantage in controlling strength and exerting force.
In addition, he also wants to try new moves.
After obtaining the "Infinite Dragon Beast" profession, his strength has changed greatly.
Not only in terms of strength level, but also in terms of combat style.
Now there is another long-range attack skill, Dragon Breath.
We must find a way to incorporate it into the combat system.
Unconsciously, time passed.
Aoki relaxed his muscles and glanced at the clock he had just bought.
It was 8:30.
It was already dawn.
There are still things to do today, so let's stop practicing here.
Qingmu raised his hand and looked at the flower mark on the back of his hand.
The energy has recovered a little.
At this rate, it will take about three months to be fully charged.
This rate is okay.
In the matter of traveling through the world, the length of time calculated in months is already quite fast.
Qingmu thought about it and left the different space.
Whoosh!
As soon as he came out, he heard a sharp whistle.
Boom!
The shells fell not far away, and the flames shot up into the sky.
Qingmu turned his head to look.
The two groups were fighting.
Not only using knives and guns, but also cannons were taken out, and they fired at each other openly on the street.
Passers-by seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, just slightly avoiding their battlefield, and then doing what they had to do.
"Hello, what happened here? Why are they fighting?" Qingmu stopped a tall woman.
The woman was a little impatient at first, but after seeing Qingmu's appearance, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Who knows? Just fight if you want!"
"This is really a simple folk custom!" Qingmu sighed.
The tall woman licked her lips, took out a large stack of money and shook it: "Don't worry about them, handsome guy, do you want to go to the hotel with me? If you agree, all these are yours."
Aoki glanced at her.
"Sorry, not interested."
"Don't be so cold. I can add money. Besides, I'm very skilled and can definitely make you fly into the sky! Look!"
As she spoke, she pulled off her thin bra, exposing her snow-white skin to the air.
Aoki was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time he had seen such a tough woman.
After a lot of effort, Aoki was able to get rid of the entanglement of eating women.
Walking alone on the street, he wanted to try today to see if he could get news about Robin.
Although Robin is far away in the Western Sea, Robin himself is quite famous in the dark world.
The son of the devil, the legend has a bounty of nearly 80 million at the age of 8.
The Western Sea is huge.
Although the powerful people in this world are basically concentrated in the Grand Line, in fact, the Grand Line is only a small part of the world, and the four seas occupy most of the world.
Looking for one person in a vast sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Chambord Islands are the end point of the first half of the great route. People from the seven routes gather here. There may be people from the Western Sea who know Robin's information.
Aoki suddenly stopped and turned to look at the dark alley next to him.
Three ragged girls huddled together, each holding a small piece of bread and devouring it.
"It's them!"
Aoki still has an impression of these three girls.
They actually managed to escape from Mariejoia.
Hancock was eating bread while looking outside warily.
The next moment, her body stiffened and her expression was stunned.
